ULTRASOUND
IMAGING
At Foot Medic™ Group we use ultrasound imaging to visualise joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and blood flow in the foot & ankle.
What is Podiatry Ultrasound Imaging?
Ultrasound imaging is a safe non-invasive and painless medical test that helps our podiatrists diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions.
We use it to visualise sprains, strains, tears, trapped nerves and arthritis, and if necessary to help guide joint injections.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR APPOINTMENT
History
Your practitioner will take a full medical, medication & lifestyle history if you have never visited the clinic before, or review it if you have. All your information is taken in a private room and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.
Assessment
Before any treatment, your practitioner will undertake a visual and sometimes physical examination to assess the cause of your condition and the treatment plan they will follow to achieve the best outcome.
Treatment
Once you and our practitioner are happy with the treatment plan, you will be treated in a clean environment, with sterile instruments (if needed) together with the latest technology so we can provide the highest standard of care in-line with evidenced based medicine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are your treatment fees?
We aim to provide professional, affordable foot care at all times. Our treatment fees therefore reflect the high standard of care we provide.
How many treatments will I need?
Simple conditions such as corns and calluses (hard skin) and minor nail complaints are treated in one session.
Recurring conditions and those that need a treatment plan such as verrucae, fungal infections etc. often need regular treatment.
The treatment regime is determined by your practitioner who will discuss this with you.
Who can receive this treatment?
With a few exceptions, most people will benefit from a routine foot appointment as we always assess your general and lower limb health together with the treatment we provide.
Routine podiatry is as important as regular dental and optical check-ups in maintaining your general health and wellbeing.
